Hi all just bought the new hurricane B/N/F looks good but have to build before flying I am lucky though i have plenty electric retracts to install in this and the receiver will be up for sale as not futuba Hope to maiden over the next few days pickys to come later
Looking forward to seeing it fly Darren.
Very nice - wanna see this thing go.
Highly motivated glued the wings together today kit so new half the accessories are not available yet
but all reports look good and should fly true to form as long as I dont slow too much or else
Very nice looking machine !!
Excellent and looks like flyable at McCoy too. We might see more of you at our field.
How good are model flight parts ordered yesterday afternoon and rocked up 8.00 am this morning
NOW THATS SERVICE
All ready to maiden seems to have heaps of power
You Would think someone with a little experience dosn,t make mistakes but we all do rollout for take off perfect flight great then some manoeuvre's only to have the battery slide backwards forgot Velcro on the battery opps one big hand full all of a sudden grass and grass every ware so my plane decides to smack head on into the concrete wall $28 later in parts will try again tommorow

That's exactly what happens and to the best of us. The plane seems to seek the worst spot to crash.
Hope not much damage to the fuse and lets see you fly it on Saturday if you can.
Damage repaired even bent motor shaft love the lathe trying again on Saturday
Cool, So does that mean we get to see it in the Air Tommorow Darren
P.s I need to get me a metal lathe one Day.

Me too! I don't know how to drive a lathe (yet) but I'd love one of those small bed versions to turn up things like oleos and motor mount stand-offs, amoungst other things. Would be good to take a bit of raw mild-steel or aluminium bar stock and then make an undercarriage leg out of it ...

If you get one and you want a run down on the basics just me a yell I've made more tons of lathe and mill swarf than I care to remember
and I can show you some neat tricks for sharpening tools and cutters as well.

I also have produced my share swarf , 4 years apprentice toolmaker but was more than 35 years ago, god I feel old, but tricks of the trade have only faded a little.
